At Cordate, our mission is to facilitate positive, in-person, social interactions. The world is increasingly digital, yet we at Cordate believe that live face time with real people is the bedrock of humanity – in friendship, business, family, romance, and athletics (to name a few). This is why we have built a tool that helps people get together in person. Furthermore, we have built our application and our business to be aligned with this mission. Vendors pay us to deliver discounts to you at the point of interaction. Thus, we all win: you get a more streamlined, seamless, and economical social coordination experience, the vendor gets business for offering a good deal, and we make money on coordinating this whole process. This is critically different from the way traditional social media companies monetize: by placing product advertisements in your workflow that are irrelevant to its goal. Their approach actually creates a conflict of interest: they want you to stay on the app for longer to view more advertisements – incentivizing people to stay glued to their phones, laptops, and tv screens instead of appreciating the manyfold joys of reality. We only get paid when you get off the app and go do something fun in the real world, and we hope to help you do this to the maximum extent!
